III. Requirements for Funded Students

Students receiving funding are expected to participate in the designated activities of NCMMSC 2026 and fulfill the following requirements:

Detailed arrangements will be announced by the Organizing Committee at a later date.

Submit a Conference Participation Report: After attending NCMMSC 2026, funded students are required to submit a conference participation report documenting their academic and exchange activities during the conference. The report should include a brief summary of the activities attended, key academic takeaways and reflections, photographs of their participation in relevant conference activities, and a brief account of their overall participation and exchange experience. Students who fail to submit the report as required may be ineligible for subsequent related funding programs organized by NLPCC, including funding programs offered independently or jointly by NLPCC and NCMMSC.

3. If a funded student is unable to attend the conference for personal reasons, the student should inform the Organizing Committee as soon as possible so that the place may be offered to another applicant.
4. Funded students should retain all relevant original receipts, invoices, and supporting documents related to the funded expenses, as these may be required for reimbursement. Detailed reimbursement procedures and document requirements will be provided separately by the Organizing Committee.
